In your Submit section, there are three categories by default, each with a title and a predefined description:- "Post a photo"- "Post a video"- "Post your text"With the Developer Option, it is possible to personalize the Submit section:

- Personalize the title and the description of a category

- Delete one or more categories

1. Activate the Developer Option

To do this, first you must activate the Developer Option add-on from the add-on store.This option is free with the Advanced subscription, or an extra $4/month with the Standard or Full subscriptions.Once the Developer Option add-on has been activated, go to your Submission section, where the Json tab will now appear.

In the Json tab, click the "+" next to "Services" to see the dropdown options.

You will see three numerical objects: 0, 1, and 2.Display the dropdown options for these as well to show the type of sections: photo, video, and article.

2. Personalize the title and description of a category

To personalize the title of a category, add the property "title" under the concerned object.

For example, to personalize the category title "Post a photo", click Add property under the object 0 (of the type "photo"), fill in the "title", and then click OK.

Then, in the empty field next to the "title" property, fill in the text that you would like to be displayed in your application.

To personalize the description, add a new property by clicking on Add property, fill in the "description" and click OK. Do the same for the title, fill in the text that you would like to be displayed in your application.

Be careful to not put in a text that is too long. Verify with the back office preview that the display of your new text in your application looks good.

3. Edit an icon in the Submit section

To edit the icon of a category in the Submit section, you need to replace the icon urls of the category.

Your icon has to be a .png file, white (FFFFFF) on a transparent background, and have the following dimensions:- For the imageUrl property: 122x122 pixels- For the iphone6plus property: 183 x 183 pixels

Your icon file must be stored externally on a website or in the File Manager (backend Settings > Developers > File manager) and you must copy and paste its url in the JSON menu of the Submit section to replace the existing icon urls.

When you are done, save your changes at the bottom of the page.

4. Delete a category in the Submit section

To delete a category in the Submit section, select the corresponding object number.

For example, if you would like to delete the category "Post your text", select object 2 with the "article" type, in the Services tab. Drop down all of the sub-menus, and delete each field under object 2 one by one, finishing by object 2 itself.

Don't forget to save your changes at the bottom of the page once you are done.
